The Minister is familiar with the school. It was originally designed for Scoil Cholumbáin and Scoil Therese primary schools. When they closed, St Gabriel's was allowed to use the building. It is fair to say that this...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Schools Refurbishment (8 May 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Minister for his positive reply. It is a unique school and it shares a site with the Brothers of Charity and the Diocese of Cork and Ross. The staff need has been met by the Department but changes are needed to the built environment and the learning environment. I hope that tomorrow's visit will be the beginning of a positive progression of the proposed development.

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Second Stage (8 May 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the Minister and the Bill. As the Minister stated, this is significant and substantial legislation which overhauls our anti-corruption regime.

I have always taken the view that politics must not be the preserve of a few and...
